Not op but one my favorites is: https://www.youtube.com/@Settledrs

Very entertaining to watch and explains things so even non players can understand the sheer absurdity of some of the attempts.

I don't think its too misleading because in both cases that's how many vehicles are affected at very moment by the recall.

Toyota shipped/sold more as mentioned in the article, but those are unaffected. Likewise with the Tesla, any shipped afterward the defect was discovered are unaffected.

This reminds me of Floneum (https://github.com/floneum/floneum), this open-sourced tool for graph-based workflows using local LLMs.

More for personal use and not quite as polished but a decent alternative for those looking to play around with the idea locally.

I've been using a combo of LLMs + live transcription to build a passive assistant that keeps track of talking points and can pull out data/tasks from a conversation you're having (https://sightglass.ai or here's a demo of me using it: https://www.loom.com/share/0220ca03bce341669d314d4254872226)

So far this is being used for:

- Sales -> guiding new recruits during more complex client calls

- HR -> Capturing respones during screening interviews

If you'd like to try this out feel free to DM me or email me at andrew at sightglass.ai, we're looking for more testers!

A problem with fine tuning based on organization data is that if the underlying data changes, you'd need to fine-tune the model again each change. This might be okay for one-off changes (such as the name of the model in the example) but if it costs $300 each time (not to mention the time spent) and you have 100s/1,000s of changes per month, it's not really viable.

Hey HN!

We've been building a semantic search engine for audio content focusing on podcasts. We're getting an early version for feedback.

You can search or ask questions about a particular podcast episode or feed and get back an answer as well as link to the relevant podcasts.

We also let you follow your favorite podcasts and receive summaries in your inbox whenever a new episode comes out

If you're running the text-generation-webui (https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui) it has the ability to train LoRAs.

It'll require a beefy GPU but I've seen some fun examples like someone training a LoRA on Skyrim books.

I recently found this list of models that works with llama.cpp: https://rentry.org/nur779 (with dl links, albeit given llama's licensing gray area, use at your own risk)

The latest so far would be Vicuna, whose weights were just recently release.
